Mike Cecil would know for certain but I think AALMG just refers to the gallows mount fitted to so many CMPs and other Australian vehicles AALMG = Anti-aircraft light machine gun. Those mounts were counterbalanced to support a bren gun, so nothing special.
It was positioned so a gunner could stand in the hatch and use the bren/gallows combination for protection from aircraft.
There was a SP Bofors version but that's another story.
